Vicky Kaushal, who is making headlines for his upcoming film 'Chhava,' recently became the subject of a startling revelation by director Laxman Utekar. The film, which features Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, demanded extraordinary commitment from the actor during its torture scene sequences. Actor's hands went numb during shooting – Director In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, director Laxman Utekar shared a concerning incident from the film's shooting. "During the filming of a particularly intense torture scene, Vicky's hands remained bound throughout the night. When we finally removed the ropes, we discovered that his arms had become completely numb and wouldn't return to their natural position," Utekar revealed. The incident was severe enough to necessitate a significant production delay. "We had to halt the production for six weeks to allow Vicky to recover properly," the director explained. "During this break, we had to dismantle the entire set. Once Vicky had fully recovered, we rebuilt the set from scratch before resuming the shoot." Director Laxman shares shooting stories The director also revealed that they shot the torture scene on the same day when Sambhaji Maharaj was actually tortured. He said 'Coincidentally, we shot that scene on the same day when Sambhaji Maharaj was actually tortured. We realized this on the first day itself.' Did not talk to Akshay Khanna on set – Vicky Director Lakshman and Vicky Kaushal were part of this conversation. During this, he revealed that in the film Chhava, Akshay Khanna plays the role of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. To make the on-screen characters look real, both did not talk to each other on set. Vicky explained- When we were shooting that scene, we didn't even wish each other good morning or goodbye or hello. He was Aurangzeb and I was Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. We would directly shoot the scenes. During this time we were not Vicky Kaushal and Akshay Khanna. We stayed in our characters. Chhava has been in controversies since the trailer release The trailer of film Chhava was released on January 22. In this trailer, Vicky Kaushal who plays the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was shown dancing, which angered many people. On this issue, former Rajya Sabha MP Sambhaji Raje Chhatrapati expressed displeasure saying that showing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj dancing is extremely wrong. Showing him playing Lezim is still okay, but he has been shown dancing.
